Notts Canary 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Think in the current climate this post is not going to go down to well but did enjoy Grant''s post match comment. When talking about the freekicks he said "Stevie Wonder could have seen there was a big gap". Worthy would have been banging on about workrate!! Would have mentioned about the current situation but just a bit to depressing!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Well did ''Stevie Wonder'' see the same bloody gap in training.............................. THERE IS NO BLOODY EXCUSE FOR THIS. We have appointed a worse manager than worthington in my opinion. We should be making a big effort to bring in Lee Camp immediatly as a priority.A poor goalkeeper affects the whole defense and Gallacher is just not good enough. Dion Has to be brought back into defense ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huddy 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Grant gave me the impression that he was very unhappy with Gallagher, and ithink he''ll be doing everything that is humanly possible too bring in a repalcement this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thefutureisyellow 0 Posted January 13, 2007 I didnt hear the interview but the stevie wonder line isn`t bad.I dont know if I am a Grant supporter or not yet, unfortunately I am begining to err on the down side.He did in fairness pick Gallagher out as a weakness when he watched us play at QPR before he even took up the job. He got a new keeper in straight away and a lot of people were surprised.Shame we still have Gallagher in goal and that Camp has gone. I guess we are still after him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Harvey-Jones 0 Posted January 13, 2007 This is the second time Grant has been upset with Gallagher''s positioning in recent weeks. I think his days as number 1 are seriously numbered! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Boubepo 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Yeah, err like good joke, not sure who should feel the most insulted - Stevie Wonder - Gallagher or the fans at least our manager sounds pretty chipper about things after another ''Grantesque performance'' so I guess thats ok!. Worthy must be laughing his little Irish socks off, that''s if he wasn''t too busy spending his 600 grand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC1871 0 Posted January 13, 2007 He is a disaster of a manager, on and off the field, couldn''t motivate his side for a local derby a few weeks in to the job - said it all reallyIt''s not too early to tell he is the wrong man for the job and the club got the wrong man its been obvious for everyone to see that the best Norwich can hope for during his time at the club is mid table - even Stevie Wonder could see that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted January 13, 2007 I don''t blame Grant. The guy has not had a chance. This slipping towards relegation has been on the cards for a while. The moment we did not sign anyone decent in the summer we got promoted to the prem a double relegation did cross my mind. The same thing that happened iirc to Man City a while back. And another point on that is I believe Man City went down to third tier of English football with a positive goal difference +2 and 52 points I think.I have an awful feeling that if we do not go down this season, we will next. Things will have to change, and change drastically just to keep us in the championship next season. The last 10-11 years have been the worst of the 22 years I have supported the canaries and that is despite the promotion. We have gone about things totally the wrong way. Do we seriously harbour any real ambition? Are the board willing to take any risks to get the club anywhere? If not then the board doesn''t have ambition. It is a dangerous game to play being content with life in the Championship and hoping for the playoffs at the start of the season, as relegation can easily creep up on you. It happened to so-called bigger clubs than ourselves in Man City and Forest and could quite easily happen to us. Just because we are Norwich City playing in league one does not give us the god given right of promotion back to the championship. Will t-shirts and banners be produced again, but this time reading on loan to league one, rather than the first division when we were relegated from the prem in 1995?Grant needs time, however I will contradict myself here and say he is not the right man for the job. He was not right for us in the position we are in. We desperately needed someone with guile and experience. Grant may come good with time. Look how shocking Ferguson was for Man U, when he first went there. The problem here is we don''t have the time to give Grant.I never thought I would ever say this, we all wanted Mr. Chase out, which definitely did need to happen. But can you sit down and say that anything has improved since his departure? During Chase''s reign, I know he had a policy of selling our best players, but at least we did have good youngsters come through and we always seemed to manage to find decent cheap players as well. We don''t even have this now, where are we going? Is there any hope? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted January 13, 2007 I do feel sorry for Gally in a way - his confidence must be shot by the personal attacks on him in the press by our ''talented'' manager. Is he doing this to every player?? I notice Safri now plays so obviously Grant cant tell if a player is decent by himslef he needs his whole squad, local commentators and 20,000 fans screaming a players name to get him picked. ANd why oh why Martin never got a game today - afraid of youth too it would seem. GRANT O.... I am so close to feeling this has been a disastrous appointment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Huckleberry 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Grant is the heir apparent to Brian Humiliton and Worthington. Clueless. Who on earth appointed them? We are a laughing stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and several others consistently post personal attacks on the players, presumably in the hope that they will get to see them. I don''t suppose you think this might damage morale then?[*-)]There are no consequences to the tripe posted on this forum. Sack Grant, sack the board, get a billionaire buyer, get rid of our whole squad! All cr*p theories without any foundation in the real world.We are not a very good team at the moment, we are in transition and with some luck and good judgement we will get better.

Mello Yello 2,273 Posted January 14, 2007 Peter Grant was head-hunted, and didn''t actually apply for the position, he''s who the ''board'' wanted at the helm. I do think the rest of the applicants were wasting their time. I also personally think he was selected because he was prepared to work with the current set-up and to proceed with the minimum of disruption, and willing to retain the same Dougie an'' Co and the ineffective playing squad - therefore, maintining the luvverly prudence and togetherfullness. I''m not saying PG is a ''yes man'' but, could you imagine the likes of Ian Holloway working with/alongside our board? I was scrutinising PG throughout the game whilst he gestured, pointed, shouted and wrote things down on his little notepad. At no time, did I see any of the players actually looking towards. or taking any notice of the manager in the technical area. When Safri scored, he ran to the bench and hugged Terry Postle the kit-man - and totally ignored the manager. I can''t think why?Never mind, there''s always next season..........same coaching staff, same squad, same board - and the same bored. ''ON THE FALL CITY!''
